President Trumps Senate trial may have witnesses after all.
Sen. Susan Collins on Friday confirmed she is working with a fairly small group of fellow Republican senators to ensure witnesses can be called.
We should be completely open to calling witnesses, Collins (R-Maine) said Friday, the Bangor Daily News reported.
I am hopeful that we can reach an agreement on how to proceed with the trial that will allow the opportunity for both the House and the presidents counsel if they choose to do so.
Mitt Romney (R-Utah) has also had recent conversations with the Senates minority Democratic leadership, one source familiar with the negotiations told The Post on Thursday.

Message I just received (2:43pm) today from Rob Portman
“Regarding impeachment, the Senate has the sole power to evaluate the case that has been presented by the House of Representatives. I will faithfully perform my duty and listen to all the facts of the case. However, based on what has been presented thus far, there is nothing that rises to the level of removing of a duly elected president from office.”
Why do you think Bolton would testify truthfully? He despises Trump.
I dont think he would chance outright perjury. I also think he is well aware of the NSA capabilities to most likely corroborate or nail him for his perjury. I think the best he has is similar crap weve heard from the house diplomats testimony of not following their rules. Bolton has the same inflated ego the others exhibited, that clod has no right to overrule me, just look at my Ivy League degrees.
Alexander, Murkowski, Collins, Gardner, Lee, Romney This could be too many.. Just a guess!
The GOP hates trump.
Almost as much as the dems.
The RINO club
Bolton definitely has something to say and it’s in no way favorable to Trump.
He wants to say it so bad but doesnt wasn’t to look like a traitor. That’s why he keeps insisting they subpoena him. That way he can say “I’m sorry Republicans/trump voters! I was subpoenad. I had to tell the truth!
Trust me... if he wanted to say anything in trump’s favor then he would not be insisting on subpoena. He would have already testified.
In the words of Chuck Schumer:
"WE'RE UNITED - YOU'RE NOT..."
The political atmosphere in the United States is so poisoned right now that I think the American people have seen about all of the democrats’ “witnesses” that they can stand. If Congress wants to do something productive, they should start an investigation of why the maggots down at the DNC’s GAO came out publicly and accused the President of the United States of committing a crime on the same day the House ‘RATS moved into the Senate.
In at least a couple of states you risk losing the seats entirely to the blue side.
That's what is going to happen to traitorous wretch Cory Gardner's seat here in Colorado.
I agree!!!
DISMISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
